Johannes Volk goes above and beyond with his first Token offering, the four-track EP Designing Evolution. The title track rushes in with meandering, staccato synth-work while the gradually opening hi-hat and subsequent ride advance frenetically overhead. "Escapism" is sparse and roomy. With more melodic wandering, grand swells accompany a pleasant, digressive bell, forced ahead with functional percussion. The subdued lead of "Cosmic Clockwork" takes you straight to 1995 Detroit and expands as the track shuffles onto full power. "Sleeping On A Razor Blade" is a bouncy, unconventional contribution with an off-kilter kick pattern and jazzy accents.
